Jerry Kramer to Receive Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence
The Pro Football Hall of Fame and Kay® Jewelers, the Official Jewelry Store of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, will honor Hall of Famer Jerry Kramer on Sunday, Sept. 16 when the Green Bay Packers host the Minnesota Vikings.
Fans at the Week 2 matchup will witness Class of 2018 Enshrinee Kramer receive his Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence during a special halftime presentation. The Hall’s President & CEO David Baker will present Kramer with his Ring of Excellence. The game is slated to kick off at noon CT at Lambeau Field.
The Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence is one of three iconic symbols that represent the elite status of being a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Kramer received his Hall of Fame Gold Jacket and unveiled his Bronzed Bust during his Enshrinement this past August.
HALL OF FAME RING OF EXCELLENCE
The Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence is created by Kay® Jewelers, the number one jewelry store in America and the Official Jewelry Store of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The spectacular Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence is set in 14K gold with a total diamond weight of 1¾ carats. However, it is much more than a beautiful piece of jewelry. Intricate details on the ring reflect the special significance of enshrinement.
- The outer diamonds create a “stadium” effect surrounding the football-shaped diamond center.
- The vibrant blue gemstone was selected both for appearance and meaning, as blue is often associated with confidence, power and integrity – all traits of these incredible legendary football icons.
- Kramer’s Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence is customized to reflect his unique career. A likeness of his bronzed bust, along with “Guard” (his position) and “1958-1968” (his years in the NFL) appear on one side while “Kramer,” the Pro Football Hall of Fame logo and “Class of 2018” are included on the other.
- Additionally, a special arbormark (or engraving) appears on the inside of the ring, which is Kramer’s Enshrinee number 314.
